Growing up in the 1980s, my dad would take me to a diner every other week to enjoy a good meal after he got off work. This diner had the POPEYE arcade game. I'd play the game everytime we go there. Fell in love with the game. Brings back memories. Miss my dad. He passed away several years ago. Thanks for posting this video. Brought me Tears of joy. Lol
I’m currently 34 years old and until you talked about Popeye meets Sinbad reminded me when I was smaller in the 80’s and early 90s I use to love watching those classic cartoons. Thanks for the memories Pat!
This is easily my FAVORITE arcade game of all-time. Seeing the arcade cabinet brought back soooo many memories. Thank you for the hard work that you put in to making this AMAZING video.
As a kid in the 80s, my dad bought all sorts of vintage cartoon compilations on VHS from the 30s and 40s (as well as three stooges compilations from earlier and later) and I loved watching these old timey cartoons as a kid. My favorite being the Fleischer superman shorts and my youngest brother really digging Popeye. Popeye is probably the reason why he ate as many greens as he did as a kid.
That animation of Popeye walking through the cave is astounding. I remember that cartoon when I was a kid but it's been many years since I've seen it. Looks like they filmed a model of a cave and then animated on top of it. What an effect. That must have blown minds when that came out.
Thanks, PatmanQC, for this fun little trip down memory lane~! I loved Popeye cartoons ( as well as Betty Boop and others from that era ) as a kid, but never did like spinach until one day I unknowingly ate some in a salad, that day discovering what I'd been missing all those years; it turns out that RAW spinach has a mild taste very similar to lettuce, and I've loved it ever since. I had the pleasure of playing the arcade game ( but wasn't very good at it ) and I thought it was a really neat idea for a video game. : )
PatmanQC - History of arcade game documentaries Really brah? I was the same way, only in the last ten years, have I been into spinach, now I love it. Even more than the way it tastes, I love the way it makes me FEEL.
Nice documentary Patman! I emulate the ColecoVision port via my Collectorvision Phoenix currently. It's an excellent arcade port. Including a recommendation, and a link to your video on my channel's review video of the ColecoVision port.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries you're welcome, and thanks! Of course the quality of my channel's videos isn't yet nearly on the level of your own, or those of many of my preferred UA-camrs. I always try to include recommendations, and links to your videos on my own where applicable because for those interested in the history behind games I haven't found anyone better at covering such yet.
In the early 80’s, at a Rainbow Records in Cupertino, California, they had a single arcade game called Pop-Man. It was Pac-Man rip off with Popeye’s head instead of Pac-Man. I was 11 or 12 and I can remember playing it many times. Never seen or heard mention of it since.
This was a passion project for Miyamoto. Nintendo probably wouldn't have its success if it weren't for the inspiration for Donkey Kong and the one of a kind arcade game being Popeye. *Fight to the FINACH!*
One of my absolute favorites. I modded and added 17,000 games to my nes classic so I have like 3,000 arcade games. I have been playing some things I have not seen in at least 20 years including Popeye. Simple but addicting game play. Great video as usual Pat.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries It really is I have the complete library of 38 systems including all foreign releases. And every classic arcade game I can think of has been on it so far. I love your content and it has helped me with a few quality games I had forgotten.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries It runs everything full speed and arcade perfect and you can adjust all the dip switches like you could at the arcade.

Hi, Dan here from Lemon Amiga. I enjoy these videos, and they feel like Saturday Morning kids shows from back in the day, with a soft Bob Ross voice and lots of information. I enjoy Jerry Skinner, so I've got to ask, which part of the USA do you come from? Louisiana perhaps? I think its intresting the Bluto/Brutus character has a back story. I always thought he came from Sinbad the Sailor, but I was wrong. ha-ha.
Hello, thanks for the kind words. I'm actually from Illinois. About three states north of Louisiana. That's a pretty good guess though. Thanks for watching, please subscribe if you like it.
I thought you were from the south too. Being from Hyde Park, MA, I was excited to hear PTS was from my state. Google says he's from IL. WTH! Filling us with false hope!
My early arcade years were surrounded by Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros., and Popeye. Popeye had the best graphics out of the group. I always loved the brick steps between the platforms. I base my opinions of all the ports on how well they recreated those haha
Yes, I was always interested in how the ports turned out. Popeye was my favorite among those for you mentioned but it was a little too short. Thanks for watching
There was a recreation of this game by Namco on mobiles in the late noughties, it had the original levels plus a couple more, they also did the same treatment for Mr do and Mr do's Castle that appear to be out of print but they do exist.
My family would take turns playing Popeye on the Atari 2600 to see who would have the family top score. SO many good memories with this game. I would like to see this video re-worked in 2020 with the format that you have for your videos now, discussing all the ports and which ones to seek out.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Thanks for the reply. I am just more used to the newer format when you discuss the port over game footage. You simply did all the discussion up front before showing 5 seconds of each port. I guess I was just spoiled by your newer work
I remember as a kid during summer vacation at the sea I played this game an awful lot. It was me and it every morning in an empty arcade with all other kids bathing and stuff.
Thanks for sharing this history I wasn’t aware of! That Popeye cartoon where he’s walking through the cave really does look amazing. What is the name of that particular episode? Thanks!
This, DK Jr & the Mr Do series were my favorite on ColecoVision! The only thing I’d change to this one is adding a few more levels.. I’m hoping for a rerelease one day
I used to own a 100 in 1 console from the swap meet. You plug the n64 looking controller to the TV and you got classics like Pac Man Arkanoid Dig Dug Contra Baseball Mappy and more.🦆
I played the arcade when I was a kid. I was very happy to get it on colecovision. However, I was extremely disappointed because I thought my colecovision copy was broken. But it wasn't. I learned a valuable lesson that day....the home consoles are not as same as the arcade machines. BTW, thanks for putting the word out about the Odyssey 2 version. Couldn't believe they would release that cauldron of eye rape!
I agree, there have been some bad conversions but the Odyssey has got to be one of the worst. I thought the Coleco version version of Popeye was pretty good
I site Popeye as the reason for my love of spinach. Also there's a restaurant down in Tennesse called Whimpy's and they server burgers. Yes their mascot is Whimpy himself. I've been there before. Best burger I've ever had. They also have a lot of Popeye memoribillia around the restaurant.
This was literally my favorite game on Colecovison . Yes my privilege earned me a one with the Atari 2600 attachment lol. But in my defense I didn't have a Nintendo NES or the Sega Master/Genesis like others did and the Colecovison was at my grandparents house not my own .
I loved the Popeye arcade machine and the C64 and Spectrum games and I also enjoyed the cartoons... I'm going to try and get my young kids (5 and 3) into Popeye ⚓
The best Popeye cartoons are definitely the Fleischer shorts. I think the first color cartoon, Sinbad, is the best of the 3 color shorts they made. Generally speaking, I like the black and white versions better. The series was at its peak in the 1930s and Popeye was probably the most famous animated character of the decade, even more popular than Mickey Mouse! I think the series definitely took a downturn in the 1940s, maybe even before Fleischer Studios was reorganized and became Famous Studios. The color Popeye cartoons made by Famous Studios are generally not as good as the 1930s Fleischer shorts. About 12-15 years ago, they released all the Fleischer Popeye shorts in 3 DVD volumes (3 discs each)? They just recently re-released volume one as an MOD disc. They've started in the last 2-3 years releasing the color Famous Studio Popeye shorts on Blu ray. They really should have remastered the Fleischer shorts in hi-def but I think the original DVD releases of the Fleischer Popeye shorts didn't meet the sales expectations that Warner Bros, the owner of those films, had.
As I am coincidentally eating some spinach with my lunch I hear you say Popeye is from Massachusetts? I never knew that! Is it mentioned in one of the cartoons or something? Also, does this mean he prefers candle pin bowling? Haha. I am very much enjoying your videos. Thanks for making all of these!
It may have been either in the comic strip or the cartoon. I want to say it was the comic strip early on. I'm not sure about Popeye but I love me some candle pin bowling as well as duck pin bowling :-) Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks
I had the Atari 2600, and this game for it. It was so awful it was kinda fun. I now have (an old) NES and a "63 in 1" (or is it 64?) game cartridge, which includes Popeye - much better than the 2600.

Not sure why this silly game deserved a history, but i'll listen. Just out of curiosity.. who played this at Napoli's pizza with their greasy kids roaming around?
I can remember being excited to rent this game as a little kid. I immediately thought, "what went wrong? This game is the worst Nintendo game ever."...it became outdated pretty quick, in my opinion.
I respect that, I was just never into Donkey Kong or Original Mario Bros...so to go from something like Mario or Mario 2 to this just left me disappointed, I didn't understand it was an older (4 years older) arcade game, so not necessarily worst, just different.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I think Bluto. I always wondered what ever happened to him and why he was replaced by Brutus. Did he give up? Did he find religion? Did he turn gay and hook up with Wimpy? It was never explained or even mentioned.
Both Bluto and Brutus, and also at one point in continuity they were twin brothers. It depends on what era of Popeye you're talking about. For the most part, they're the same character.
There's another Popeye knock-off in DC Comics. He's a supporting character of Superman named Bibbo Bibbowski. He's appeared in both comics and animation. The 1990s Superman animated series version of Bibbo is obviously modeled after Popeye to the extent that he wears the same style captain's cap and has a squinty eye.
Thank you so much, I was using a very cheap microphone the time and listening back you can really tell. I'm thinking of going back and redoing some of these old ones with my better equipment.
